“Peace is not sought in order to provoke war, but war is waged in order to attain peace. Be a peacemaker, then, even by fighting, so that through your victory you might bring those whom you defeat to the advantages of peace. ‘Blessed are the peacemakers,’ says the Lord, ‘for they will be called children of God’ (St. Mt 5:9).” - St. Augustine

May 25th is the day that the Church honors Bede the Venerable – Theologian, who lived in England AD 673-735. Bede, the last of the Early Church Fathers, was the first person to compile the history of the English church. Seven years after his birth in Northumbria, his parents placed him in a monastery in northern England. He devoted his entire life to teaching and writing, rarely leaving the monastery. Bede was the most learned man of his time, especially noted as a prolific writer of history. He is best known for his book “The Ecclesiastical History of the English People.” His careful use of sources made his book a model for historians in the Middle Ages. He also had a talent for interpreting Scripture and wrote several commentaries on several books of the Bible. “His most famous disciple, Cuthbert, reported that Bede was working on a translation of John’s Gospel into English when death came and that he died with the words of the Gloria Patri on his lips. He received the title ‘Venerable’ within two generations of his death and is buried in Durham Cathedral as one of England’s greatest saints.” (p. 376)

Let us pray: “Lord Jesus Christ, You want all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. We give You thanks for sending Bede the Venerable to the Christian Church. Protect and encourage all pastors who confess the true faith among the nations by proclaiming Christ crucified; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.” Amen.

The Church remembers Queen Esther today, the heroine of the biblical book that bears her name. Because of her beauty, she was chosen to be the queen by King Ahasuerus. Her charm and courage helped her to save her people, the Jews, from extermination. Haman, the king’s chief advisor, had planned to kill all the Jews whom he hated. Esther was able to uncover the plot resulting in the hanging of Haman on the gallows that he had built for Esther’s uncle Mordecai. “This story is an example of how God intervenes on behalf of His people to deliver them from evil, as here through Esther He preserved the Old Testament people through whom the Messiah would come.” (p. 373)

Let us pray: “O Almighty God, by whose grace and power Your servant Esther triumphed over Your enemies and rescued her people from death, grant us, who now remember her with thanksgiving, to be so true in our witness to You in this world that we may receive the crown of light and life; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen."
